Apart from being a lively fishing village, Sekinchan is one of the major rice producing areas of Malaysia. The vast, well-irrigated and organized paddy fields around Sekinchan produces one of the highest yields of rice in the country. It is also frequented by cityfolk from Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh for its fresh seafood.

In this trip, you will experience some of the village traditions in Sekinchan, such as cycling and making traditional lepat jagung. Stop at a rice factory for souvenirs, and a local temple for photo sessions. Watch how traditional bahulu is made in a local shop before ending your day in Sekinchan.
